On the difference between ghostwriting and collaborating with other artists:
“Look, if it makes a great song…but it’s you and this other person that’s cooking it up, you’re not doing anything wrong.”
On borrowing other cultures’ musical styles in his songs:
“That’s not appropriating… I make a point to give opportunity to people that I respect. Wizkid was on [“One Dance”] with me, and I had blessings from the real dons in that space.”
